Moving From Assistant to Head Coach in Youth Football

February 22, 2012 by

Article by Dave Cisar

Many youth football assistant coaches out there have aspirations of becoming a head coach. They want to run their own offense, defense, special teams and want to see how their methods will pan out, there is nothing wrong with that. I’ve had about 14 assistant coaches coach with me that went on to be head coaches. I encouraged them and mentored them and most good youth coaches will do the same if asked.

Many youth organizations have more people that want to be head coaches than they have head coaching positions, so the organization has to determine the best choice for the organization.

The first step in becoming a head coach is to be the best assistant coach the organization has ever seen and here is how you do it:

Be the very best at whatever task is given you, if you are in charge of something as mundane as water, make sure the water situation is the best it has ever been. Get personalized water bottles for every player and make sure your timeout water is the freshest and coolest the team has ever seen and get it out there in quantity and in a hurry, you get the idea.

Be loyal to the head coach’s schemes and practice methods. If he is running a spread offense with zone blocking rules, learn as much about those systems as you can. He is in charge and gets to run whatever he wants, no matter if the offense is a poor choice for your team. Do not criticize him or his systems publicly if forced to comment just say ” My job as an assistant coach is to implement what the head coach wants in the fashion he wants it done in”.

If you have scheme and technique suggestions, make those to the coach away from the practice and game fields. Present them in a non-aggressive, non-threatening way. If he disagrees with you and is firm on sticking with his methods, do not hold a grudge, aggressively teach his methods the best you can.

Be punctual, get to practice early, help set up and develop positive relationships with the kids and parents.

Offer to take whatever load from the head coach as possible. This could include bringing some of the blocking dummies to practice or scouting an upcoming opponent.

Ask him to take you along if he scouts teams to learn how he does it.

Ask the head coach what he uses to learn more about his system and ask to borrow it or buy it yourself.

Be beyond reproach from an ethical standard, even if other coaches smoke or drink in front of players, do not do so. Stay above petty frays in the coaching staff or team dynamic.

Be the very best sport and model exceptional sportsmanship to your players.

Be well dressed, well groomed and professional.

If your area of the team is having problems, ask the head coach for suggestions, be humble.

Be enthusiastic and friendly with opposing coaches and referees. If you attend other youth games, develop positive relationships with them.

Take initiative with small things and excel at it. Something as simple as making sure everyone on the kickoff team is on the field. Or even picking up all the trash on your sidelines after the game. Offer to make signage to make the field more special on game days, things like that.

Suggest fun team building drills like those in the book in chapter 4 for a day the team is starting to run out of gas. Suggest something unique that you are in charge of and run it. Make theses suggestions off the field and show the head coach why it is important and how it will help “his” team.

Break down film of your games and offer stats to the coach.

Bring in a donor or run a fundraising effort.

Do year end framed certificates or awards for the kids, the frames we use are just each and the certificates are free on the internet.

Let the head coach know you would like to be a head coach and ask him what areas he feels you need to improve upon to become a head coach. Ask him to recommend coaching materials or clinics you should attend.

Attend league board meetings and let them know of your interest and qualifications.

Finally, get recommendation letters from the head coach, other assistants and even parents of kids on your team.

Go to the coaches clinics in your area, sit up front, learn and become known, be part of the demos. The clinics are always looking for volunteer workers, volunteer.

If you do these things somehow, somewhere, people are going to be beating down your door to be a head football coach.

As someone that has “hired” 100’s of head coaches, I can assure you we look for the coach that has the best ability to lead and balance that against any liability you may have. Most youth organizations like to keep their risks as low as possible, so if you are not well organized, are a pain to deal with, have sportsmanship issues, this will often outweigh your coaching expertise.

Personal Development – Creating a Better You

February 22, 2012 by

Article by Michael Jeffreys

People have an immense capacity for learning. Unfortunately, most people do not utilize the overwhelming portion of this learning potential. At some point, many of us feel we have reached a plateau of stagnation. Whether it is the executive who is beginning to feel like he is stuck in a rut or the home maker with the picture perfect family who is beginning to wonder if this is all there is in life, the quest for personal development is in us all.How Personal Development Affects All Facets of our LivesMany people suffer from the misconception that personal development or self improvement, involves building better self esteem and not a whole lot more. There is also a tendency to disassociate personal development from an individual’s personal life. For instance, we assume that building on self worth, dealing with conflicts in relationships, enhancing our creative side are all “personal” in nature and have no bearing on our work. Nothing could be farther from the truth. A good personal development program teaches skills related to listening, learning, and growing that are just as relevant in the workplace as they are at home or in the company of friends.The Best Time for Personal Development is Right Now!Sadly, most people wait until things are at their absolute worst before considering a personal development program. This is unfortunate because a personal development program is hardly an instant remedy or magic cure for all that ails you. It is an ongoing process that continues to teach and equip you with skills necessary for dealing with conflicting situations. Take for instance, the sedentary executive who has followed a none-too-healthy lifestyle and lives and breathes his work. One day, he notices an unfamiliar tightening in his chest and freaks out so bad he checks himself into the nearest medical facility for a battery of expensive tests. How much easier would it have been to have followed and maintained a healthy lifestyle program to avoid a health scare in the first place? Similarly, a personal development program gives you the skills necessary for a balanced life and puts you on the path to a more rounded “healthier” you.Seminars for Personal DevelopmentUnfortunately, there has, in recent years, been an unprecedented proliferation of personal development programs in the marketplace. Many of these are devised by self-styled “self improvement gurus” who see an immense opportunity to profit from the average persons eagerness to better themselves from the inside. This is reflected in the content of these half baked personal development programs they enthusiastically promote. Whether you prefer to do a home study course or watch tapes, be sure to find a personal development program that truly helps unleash your inner potential. Seminars, whether you attend a professional speaking presentation, or watch at your convenience on tape or DVD, can be a powerful motivator and can inspire and challenge you to attain newer and ever increasing personal levels.

Tend To Your Own Happiness

February 22, 2012 by

Article by Deanna Mascle

Many of us wish for more happiness. We want to lead happier, more fulfilling, lives, but the sad truth is that so many of us that wish for more happiness spend much more time tending the happiness of others than we do tending to our own happiness.

Happiness does not simply happen. A person does not suddenly stumble across happiness. Happiness is the result of careful tending and a person who wishes to be happy must tend to their own happiness.

Tending to your happiness does not need to be difficult, complex, or time-consuming. It can be as simple as this four-step formula:

1. Trash your unhappy thoughts and trends2. Envision yourself happy3. Needs fulfilled4. Desires fulfilled

Making yourself a happier person really can be that simple.

Step one is an important one because unhappiness is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Many people are unhappy because they don’t believe they deserve to be happy and they lock themselves into patterns of behavior that make them unhappy. You must trash your unhappy thoughts and trends.

Look inside yourself and find out what (and when) you think about things that make you unhappy. Is there a specific time of day that you tend to be more unhappy? Is there a specific task or routine that seems to feed your unhappiness? Is there something that you do or think that contributes to your own unhappiness?

Once you identify the areas of your life that cause you unhappiness you can find ways to confront it and combat it. Sometimes you can make a change to avoid the trouble spot altogether, but when that’s not possible find ways to make it less difficult on yourself. Adjust your schedule or your expectations if that will make things better. Recruit help when you can. Just easing off one task or freeing up a few hours can make a huge difference in your attitude. When all else fails and you can’t change or share something unpleasant than don’t hesitate to give yourself a reward for accomplishing it. Knowing you will be rewarded can sometimes make difficult tasks more palatable.

Step two is key. Some people have been unhappy for so long they have forgotten what happiness looks like and feels like. Envisioning yourself happy can help create the happiness habit. Thinking about your own happiness will also help counterbalance times when you are unhappy or working through unpleasant tasks. Think about difficult times as simply stepping stones to happy times.

Step three cannot be overlooked. If your basic needs for food and sleep are not met then you will not be able to focus on happiness. Obviously it is not impossible for hungry, sleep-deprived people to be happy, but most humans are a lot less likely to be happy in that state. Food and sleep provide fuel for both body and mind and the healthier your body and mind then the better chance you have to achieve happiness.

Step four is the final step to achieving happiness. What do you desire? What do you wish for? What do you dream about? Allow yourself to dream big but don’t overlook small wishes and desires. While a two-week cruise might be great just having a weekend at a local resort might really give the rest, relaxation and escape you might need. Or perhaps you’d really like to lose 30 or 50 pounds but finding a way to work in some exercise a few times a week might give you more immediate gratification while eventually accomplishing your long-term goal.

Make a list of your desires, wishes, and dreams — big and small — and keep that list some place handy. What can you do this week to achieve a small goal? What can you do this month to take a step toward a big goal? Sometimes you don’t even need to accomplish your goals to achieve happiness. Sometimes it is simply enough to know that you are working toward your dreams. Often happiness is found on the path to our dreams. Often happiness is created while we strive to make our wishes come true.

You can make yourself a happier person but you must tend to your happiness. So often we spend more time tending to our outer possessions than we do tending to our inner ones. You can make a few changes to your life to find a better balance and that will help create more personal happiness for you.

Executive Coaching On The Rise

February 20, 2012 by

Article by Ian G Cook

Isn?t it funny what we assume about leaders in senior positions. They no longer have anything to learn about interpersonal relationships or leadership. They have arrived, proof positive of their skill level!

Furthermore, only a fearless few people will give them the honest, useful feed-back that self-development requires. The ?culture? expects them to be role models and our models are supposed to get it ?right.? Showing their vulnerabilities is a ?no-no,? not to be done in front of those who report to them and certainly not advised in front of competitive colleagues on their leadership team. Of course, the CEO is too busy (and often not sufficiently skilled) to help them grow interpersonally.

The fact is that many individuals arrive at the senior level with much still to learn about people. Often they bring to the executive wing styles, habits and beliefs that have worked for them since they were a supervisor. Suddenly these formulae for success no longer work and, in many cases, must be unlearned and replaced with behaviors more in line with modern leadership.

This is why so many organizations today are investing in coaching for their key leaders. The benefits from being coached stem primarily from the leverage that is obtained. When a senior leader operates with a less-than-functional style, its negative impact on performance and morale can reverberate from within the senior leadership team right out through the frontlines to the customer. The good news is that turning this individual?s style around will have the same multiplier effect in a positive direction.

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a series of periodic one-on-one consultations, usually with an external resource, over a period of time? typically anywhere from three to eighteen months. Between sessions the ?coachee? (whom we will call the ?client?) applies newly learned approaches at work, receives feedback, then reassesses, and refines his/her behavior accordingly. Coaching is not therapy, however, occasionally a coach may suggest counselling as a promising course of action for deeper seated issues that are blocking effectiveness. Well done coaching yields a high return on investment because the process is totally customized to the ?client?s? challenges and needs and it maximizes the executive?s time off the job.

The goal of the coaching process is to generate, in the client, effective skills and attitudes that are self-sustaining, selfcorrecting and directly supportive of his or her expected performance results.

When does one engage a coach?

Usually?but not always?it is the individual?s boss who initiates the coaching intervention. Typically this is in response to a need to turn around a significant performance problem or to improve an interpersonal skill deficiency that is holding back an otherwise excellent executive. Coaching is also used to prepare someone for a promotion, generally enhance leadership potential, and provide support for a particularly challenging leadership situation (e.g. managing a major change, inheriting a new department).

On the other hand, Coaching is not always indicated. I would not take on a coaching assignment when the boss has already decided to fire or demote the individual, when there is insufficient time to generate the results required, or where the person is entering a coaching process against his/her will. This latter condition is sometimes a judgment call but my ethical and business bottom-line is that the client must buy in to the process freely and genuinely.

What should you look for in a coach?

Consider the mix of (1) skills, (2) knowledge and (3) attributes of any coaching consultant.

Critical skills are:

? communications (interviewing, listening, feedback, summarizing)

? facilitation (including the ability both to confront and support)

? teaching

? the ability to take a systems perspective (the client does not operate in isolation but as an integral part of complex organizational systems)

Look for knowledge in three areas:

1. psychology and human behavior2. business, management and organizational life3. how adults learn

The ideal attributes in the coach you select include:

? flexibility? work experience and maturity? self-confidence? confidentiality? comfort with complexity? ambiguity

I believe your coach should be someone who places a high value on?even has a passion for?the growth of others and who is willing to learn and grow himself/herself in the process. And, of course, the relationship must work for both parties, client and coach.

Some coaches are clinically trained, that is, they are psychologists or professional therapists. This is not necessary but neither is it negative. Clinicians bring a deep understanding of human behavior and effective interpersonal techniques. They are trained to recognize deeper pathology should it become evident during the process. As long as they have a solid understanding of business and organizations and they stick to coaching, certainly do consider them for coaching.

What does a coaching process look like?

Each intervention is unique but let?s look briefly at a typical sequence.

1. Coach meets with the client?s boss and the client to ascertain issues, objectives and the standards expected by the organization.

2. Coach and client meet. In this meeting I particularly check out our chemistry and my client?s degree of buy-in to the overall process. Once that is confirmed, I conduct an in-depth interview with him/her to scope in detail his/her personal and work background, version of the issues, feelings, needs, concerns, and how the client currently perceives and interprets his/her world.

3. Data gathering. This may involve interviews with key players in the team, the client?s direct reports, and others who interact with him/her. Often a 360 degree feedback instrument is used to obtain perceptions from the client?s boss, peers, and subordinates. Psychological measurements also can contribute a lot. I routinely use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator© with great success. Another technique is to ?shadow? the client and observe him/her in typical interactions and meetings.

4. Coach compiles all this information, feeds it back to the client, and facilitates a discussion?sometimes lengthy and emotional.

5. Client identifies and commits to specific objectives and deliverables for the process.

6. Client develops an action plan.

7. With the on-going involvement of the coach, the client implements the plan over an appropriate number of months. This is the core of the process.

8. Once the plan has been accomplished, client and coach conduct a final assessment of the client?s progress against the objectives. Here we may determine the need to gather data once again to confirm others? perceptions and experience of the progress made.

9. Finally, a ninth step might be contracted where the coach checks in occasionally over the next year or so to provide on-going support.

When we look to the world of athletics and entertainment we see that those who aspire to excellence understand the value of coaches. The seasoned masters in my field of professional speaking certainly use them. I have several coaching colleagues amongst whom we coach one another.

What about your key people? What about you?

The Value of Coaching

February 19, 2012 by

Article by Alan Gillies

Copyright (c) 2009 Alan Gillies

It has been thoroughly documented that Coaching is an extraordinarily effective way of managing and leading individuals toward increasing levels of personal performance. Whether on the sports field or in the business world, the increase in the utilisation of coaches has reached incredible heights in recent years.

This is not without good reason; numerous studies – most notably one called the Manchester Review, demonstrated that coaching increased the ROI and effectiveness of Managers and Executives by over 500%. Coaching as a technique is utilised throughout our world, and it’s certainly of use to everyone who has any significant responsibility for individual management or leadership.

Its use in business has grown massively in recent years, as it has proven to be one of the most effective tools for gaining increases in efficiency and effectiveness. Coaching is also something that is generally viewed positively by the “Coachees”, who usually see it as a beneficial interaction with their managers or superiors as compared to the more traditional methods that were used in the past.

Often, coaching is mistakenly viewed as something only for salespeople – this is a completely false misconception, as all functions can benefit from managers and senior staff being trained in the tools and techniques used by coaches.

Coaching is the approach of delivering support and advice to a person or group of people in order to assist them with finding avenues in which they can increase the overall effectiveness of their businesses. Coaches work to improve leadership, establish employee accountability, inspire teamwork, generate sales, expand communication, motivate goal setting, implement strategic planning and much more. This can be provided in a number of ways, including one-on-one or group coaching sessions. Mistakenly, coaching is often seen to be only needed when things are not going well, however successful businesses recognize the benefits of coaching even when their organisation is at its best.

Coaching is not the same as mentoring, and the two should not be confused. Mentoring involves a developmental relationship between a more experienced “mentor” and a less experienced partner, typically involving the sharing of advice. A coach can act as a mentor – given that he or she has adequate expertise and experience. However, mentoring is not a form of coaching. An exceptional coach doesn’t need to have specific business knowledge and understanding in the particular field that the person getting the coaching is dealing with in order to deliver top-notch coaching services.

Coaching is also NOT training. Often, companies I have worked with have said to me that they want their managers to be coaches or that they want to improve the organisations coaching capabilities, but in reality they want people to become on-the-job trainers.

An efficient coach can add value far past the expense of the sessions or the expense of an employee utilised as a coach. In the Pharmaceutical Industry for example, Sales Managers will often go through an excess of 120 days each year in the field with their team – working on a 1:1 basis; this is a colossal investment of time and resources. If these managers can eventually become exceptional coaches, the value acquired here will be colossal, and if they can’t, then that’s a great deal of money thrown away on warming the passenger seat of a vehicle.

Many organisations expect their senior leaders and middle managers to coach their team members toward higher levels of performance, increased job satisfaction, personal growth, and career development. Those that do, usually back up their expectations with training in coaching skills, access to feedback tools, and/or specific coaching behaviours described in their leadership competency models. However, few organisations link coaching activities to compensation, and until there is a prominent culture that links effective coaching to reward, there will continue to be minimal coaching by managers. In order to embed this culture into an organisation it is necessary to provide proper training and support to those that are expected to coach, and also link their compensation and reward to the benefits that they deliver within this role.
